Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.

If Monument Australia is useful to you, please make a donation to keep this historical and educational resource available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

The Mundoora War Memorial was originally erected in memory of the fallen and those who served in World War One. The names of the fallen from World War Two were added to the memorial at a later date.

On view this week, at F. Basse & Co., Beehive Corner, is the statue of an Australian soldier (4 ft. high), which has been sculptured out of South Australian marble, quarried at Angaston. The sculptors (S.A. Monumental Works West Terrace, Adelaide) are making several of these (also life size ones as well) to be erected in various country towns in memory of fallen soldiers. This is also starting a new industry, as in the past all statues were imported. Among others the S. A. Monumental Works are executing is one for Mundoora and life-size statue for Port Broughton.The Register (Adelaide), 4 March 1920.
